This is the restaurant to rave about for me. The food is out…read moreof this world. We went on Christmas and they were the only restaurant open in a Christmas day. So we were very thankful. On top of it, they had Christmas special Biryani, it was amazing and it was authentically cooked by an Indian cook. The flavours come beautifully come together and melt in your mouth. The regular orders as house burger, butter chicken or sea food chowder are always to go for me. For Christmas the inside of the restaurant looked amazing very cozy and mesmerizing vibes. The decorations also blended with the atmosphere very well. You sit surrounded by many Christmas colours Servers are always welcoming too, if I have any issues they fix it right away and make it a pleasing stay for me everytime. Always happy to come back!

We were a table of 6. I ordered the prime rib daily special 8oz for $25. It was surprising…read moredelicious. The prime rib was over cooked. I asked for medium rare but I got well done. I didn't bring this up to our server because the restaurant was a full house. The kitchen was probably overwhelmed with lots of orders. Anyways the portion size was huge. The quality of the prime rib was spectacular. It was super tender but best part of all the prime rib was super flavourful. The au jus made up for the over cooked prime rib. If the prime rib was cooked to medium rare, I would have given it 5 stars. The prime rib also came with lots of veggies and a baked potato. The baked potato definitely needs more sour cream. It had a good amount of bacon in it which was nice. The Yorkshire pudding was huge. Not many restaurants serve a high quality cut of prime rib. I highly recommend coming over and trying it. It was super tasty. B ordered the southwest burger. It came with fries. I tried a few of his fries and was amazed at the crunchiness. B loved his food as well. Also in the basement there was a large party. Food took a long time to come because as mentioned before it was a full house. Our server did come over and apologized and to let us know that the large party downstairs placed their order before us. We didn't mind the wait. It was nice of her to let us know. Great atmosphere. There are lots of free parking. It is connected to Best Western hotel.

I predict I could eat these burgers naked and they would still be delicious. Milkshakes here are both a drink and a dessert. We had the Black Forest and the Creamsicle. Both quite good but the Black Forest was a little sweet for my taste. The girls behind the counter got the job done professionally considering they looked like they were both working their first jobs and it is a take out joint, just before closing. Really nothing to complain about here. I'll be back.

The service was ok, not stellar, but certainly adequate. The food was pretty good. My husband had the fish tacos and loved them. I had the Katsu Chicken Bowl. The Bowl wasn't as good as the tacos. It was badly under seasoned. The chicken was quite dry and overcooked too. All in all it was quite bland. I wouldn't order this again. Our friends had the Miso Salmon and the Bison Spaghettini. Both of them enjoyed their food. If I return to Cowichan Bay I'd consider going again but skipping the Katsu Bowl.
